Looking to get feedback on what size BFG Radial T/A’s that can fit nicely on my 62 Catalina. Current tires are 215 x 75 – 15 Sears Guardsman (yikes!) that have a 27” diameter on 15 x 7” ARE TorqueThrust wheels. Like to know what size tires other owners are able to stuff under the fenderwells. Concern about clearances as the ARE wheels have a 3.75” backspacing & push the sidewall close to the rear fenders.

215/70x15 comes up as a tire size for your vehicle. It is 26.9" so depending upon where your clearance issue is may give you some extra room without sacrificing width. The 215/75x15 comes out on paper as 27.7" diameter so the 70 series would be 3/4" shorter.
